Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to co-pending application Ser. No. 15 / 366,423 filed on Dec. 1, 2016, which claims priority to Application Ser. No. 62 / 262,627 filed on Dec. 3, 2015, which is incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to firearm stocks for shoulder-fired weapons. More specifically, the invention permits a rifle's receiver or other long arm's stock to rotate independently from the rifle's butt stock around the horizontal axis to permit increased accuracy in difficult firing situations.DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART[0003]Traditionally butt stocks are a simple, rigid component extending from the receiver of the firearm rearward and engage the user's shoulder when the firearm is in the shoulder firing position. It is also important for a rifle butt stock to be simple and reliable, with a small number of parts, quickly and quietly adjustable, and very rugged. Increasing the adjustability of the butt ...
